ORCKA Canoeing SKILLS Courses

Testimonials

I had such a wonderful experience with Kirkwood Canoe this summer. Judy (and John and Patrick) was so patient, fun and knowledgeable! She was flexible and able to adapt her instructing to different learning styles, weather/water conditions and personalities. I will take all my courses with Kirkwood Canoe in the future - it's worth the drive!

I take all my canoeing and paddling courses with Judy at Kirkwood Canoes. Professional, so educational, fun, relaxed and serious at the right times, patient and an absolute joy to learn from her experience.

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Both Judy and D'Arcy were great roll models for my son. Teaching us not just paddle strokes but how to work together.

Judy and D'Arcy's approach was practical, fun and flexible. We had a range of beginners to more seasoned paddlers on our course and everyone learned so much in a warm, positive environment. I can't wait for my next course with them!

Judy and John's approach is informative, practical, and innovative. Instruction is delivered in a very relaxed and supportive manner with plenty of opportunity to refine skills and adapt to different conditions. As long as Judy continues to instruct, Kirkwood Canoe is where I will go to get my qualifications!
